People who deal with domestic violence are victims. Often, they live their lives in fear. Fear of the person who is supposed to love them the most. Fear of the unknown. Fear of leaving.

If you have never been a victim of domestic violence, you have no idea. Most people just think that they should leave. However, most of the time they don't and here are some reasons why.

Love. Most of the time, victims of domestic violence still love the person who is hurting them. They might not love them much at the moment, but they can easily recall why they loved them before!

Family. Often, there is a family involved, with children. Victims may stay because they don't want to break up their family. While some people leave because they fear for their children's lives, others don't want them to miss out on a relationship with both of their parents.

Money. Money is often a controlling factor when it comes to domestic violence. One partner may have all of the money so the victim has nothing to use to try to get away. They don't have any money to start a new life (or even get on the subway to run away).

Isolation. Most victims of domestic violence push their friends away so that they don't know what is going on. By the time that they want to run, they have no one to turn to. There is no one left to help them get away.

Shame. Many victims feel complete shame. They don't want others to know that they were so weak and were abused. For this reason, it is easier to stay with someone who hurts them than it is to walk away.

However, it doesn't have to be this way. Victims of domestic violence are stronger than they even imagine. They can leave, as long as they have help and support. If you are a victim, we will help you get out of your situation so that you can have a better life. Be sure to contact us for all of your legal needs.

When people think of domestic violence, they think about a wounded woman cowering on the floor with her husband screaming or even hitting her. However, it doesn't have to get physical to be considered domestic violence.

Here are some types of domestic violence.

Physical abuse. Most people think of physical abuse when they think of domestic violence. It is common, though it is not the only way that you can become a victim of domestic violence.

Emotional abuse. Not all victims show their scars on the outside. Actually, it is even worse when others can't see them. Though many people don't really believe in emotional abuse, it can be the hardest one to bear. Many abusers treat their victims like they are worthless until they start to feel like they are.

Sexual abuse. Even if you are married, you shouldn't be forced to have sex. Whether you are forced to have sex when you don't feel like it or you are forced to do something sexually that you are not comfortable with, you are being sexually abused.

Financial abuse. It is a form of domestic violence when a person controls their victim through their money. While many people think about the man working so that the wife can take care of the children, they should both have a say in how the money is spent. However, with financial abuse, the man (or either partner) would control every penny that the other one spends, no matter who made the money.

If you or someone that you know is being abused in any way, it is time to get help. Help yourself (or them) today. Don't wait or it might be too late! Contact us for all of your legal needs. We will help you get a better life!

Spousal support was designed and put in place to help half of a divorcing couple get back on their feet after a separation. In many marriages, there is one spouse who earns more and one who earns less for a variety of reasons. Perhaps one spouse decided to stay home and care for the children, leaving them without income and work experience in the event of a divorce. However, spousal support is not forever. It has the ability to be modified and even terminated. However, what are the conditions for termination when it comes to spousal support?

Spousal support termination can be achieved through a variety of different conditions. These conditions include:

Self-Sufficiency Through Employment - Once the spouse receiving spousal support payments has obtained a job that allows them to be self-supporting, it can be petitioned by the courts to terminate or otherwise modify spousal support. However, even if a spouse is employed doesn't mean they are receiving enough to support themselves fully.

Getting Re-Married - Getting re-married is automatic ground for termination when it comes to spousal support. However, never try to game the system by putting off marriage. Courts will agree to termination if you are simply cohabitating with a romantic partner as well.

Retirement - If the paying party is ready to retire, they can request that spousal support be terminated or reduced in order to match their lower retirement income. However, the paying party must be retirement age or otherwise unable to work. They cannot retire early for the purpose of eliminating spousal support payments.

If you are seeking to modify spousal support payments or are getting divorced and want spousal support on the table, contact us today. Let the Law Office of Jamra & Jamra help get you the results you desire.
